En Bloc Houthavens is under construction

In search of beauty: linking contemporary living and building with local building traditions and cultural context. Approach; Composing playful window patterns following typical iconographic patterns found in Nassaukade and the typical Amsterdam canal house. Using instruments of color contrast, proportion, rhytme, repetition, themes & variation in search for what architect van Gool describes as a “a symphony of windows.”

On thursday 4 October 2018 the new home owners and involved parties were together for the celebration of the construction start of En Bloc in Amsterdam. The 67 appartments are being developed by BPD and ERA Contour in collaboration with Marc Koehler Architects.
